Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Copenhagener How can such an amateurish, plot less movie with poor acting even receive such a high rating? I just don't get it. First of all there is zero chemistry between the two main characters. At least a minimum of that would be fair to expect now that they are supposed to not just become friends - despite of two totally different personalities - but a romantic couple. Like in the movie Adele there is absolutely no explanation as to how they become attracted to each other - they are just suddenly making love, from one frame to the next. The whole build-up is skipped. And apart from that there are just way too many plot holes and unrealistic scenes. E.g. Mona goes on a trip with her new friend without knowing where they are going - yet she did bring a bikini for their swim! How was that possible? Is she a fortune-teller? Also her friend brought a bikini - even though it seems unplanned that they went for that swim. As there were nobody else around, and they did not plan the swim - they would have done it in the nude, and voila - there you would have the missing build-up. Instead we get a quick, fully-bikini-clothed kiss. That's all. Heterosexual girls also kiss, thus this is nowhere near any lesbian approach. And what made her brother turn Christian? Nobody knows. Yes, he explains how he saw the light etc. but the individual, life-turning event that triggered his sudden clergy is just added to the way too many unanswered questions. The whole movie seems plot less, just moving from one pathetic, boring, silly, unrealistic scene to the next. The shortfalls are so many and so obvious that the unusually high rating of this movie - even from critics - is just incredible.

SnoopyStyle Mona (Natalie Press) is hurt after getting dumped. Her brother Phil (Paddy Considine) is her only family. He is a reformed criminal and a born-again Christian. He runs his congregation out of his pub. Mona befriends rich girl Tamsin (Emily Blunt) who is haunted by her sister Sadie who died from anorexia. The two girls' friendship grows into a sexual relationship. Tamsin is furious at her father and his secretary who is cheating with him. Phil leads his congregation to plant a wooden cross on top of the hill. Tamsin starts flirting with him.These are three terrific young actors on the rise. This feels more like a bright breezy lesbian romance at first. It turns into something different but it never gets dark enough. The Tamsin character needs more chaos. It would help if they do something more dangerous. It's a movie of a manipulative female but the manipulations are more like emotional game playing.

kenjha Two young women, one from a rich family and one from a working class family, meet and fall in love in this quirky drama. Newcomers Press (reminiscent of a young Sissy Spacek) and Blunt work well together, with the latter showing star quality as a child of privilege who is a free spirit as well as somewhat mean-spirited. Considine plays a strange born-again Christian who is trying very hard to compensate for his past sins. The English countryside is beautiful, but the film looks cheap - like a home movie. Writer/director Pawlikowski keeps it low-key and infuses it with a sense of freshness. Ultimately, however, it is nothing more than an intriguing diversion.

Muzzy_Meat "My Summer of Love" is essentially a film about – true to the film's title – a summer romance shared between two girls from vastly different backgrounds. While the two characters are female, this film doesn't deal with issues of sexuality, coming out, homophobia, etc. – it's merely a romance between two young people connecting, period. (Therefore those that are cautious about watching a film dealing with homosexuality shouldn't be weary, as this film can appeal to those of all genders despite sexual preference, and not exclusively lesbians.)As you can guess by my rating, I immensely enjoyed My Summer of Love. The atmosphere, music, and cinematography are dreamy, lush, and capture the mood quite perfectly – reminding me of something from a Sofia Coppola film (who I think is a director who certainly knows how to capture beauty on screen). Nathalie Press and Emily Blunt give fantastic performances as the two leads and also share equally undeniably great chemistry. Of course the story is excellent, and the ending – without revealing any spoilers – is satisfying (though this is arguable) but surely leaves you thinking, which in my opinion, is what a great film does – leaves the audience something to think about and discuss.Although I thought the pacing to be very good, I understand that some might find it "slow". Regardless, the story and characters are timeless, so I feel that despite the generation you come from, you'll certainly feel nostalgic and will have no trouble relating to this films' young characters. 10 stars. Great film.
